Multi-factor authentication

Multi-factor authentication combines two factors (user name with password + SMS/phone/authentication app), which makes unauthorized access by third parties considerably more difficult. A stolen password alone is therefore no longer sufficient, so that even with successful phishing attacks, access remains blocked if the second factor is missing.

Please be sure to read our notes on the limits of multi-factor authentication before activating it in your portal.

In the following, we describe the configuration of multi-factor authentication in Intrexx.
